TAILORED COURSES / ENHANCED CAPABILITIES

Media training | Presentation training | Writing training

Three Plus delivers bespoke courses in media, presentation and writing skills training in one-on-one settings or small group workshops.

Our courses are tailored to individual needs but are usually conducted over 3-4 hours. Delivery style is discussed but content is the focus.

Participants benefit the most and improve quickly by learning the skills of how to prepare properly, and how to use sharp, well-considered key messages.

This training improves media performance (positive media or crisis management), and assists with all sorts of presentations – board or investor presentations, conference key notes, panel discussions and community meetings.

“Three Plus has been invaluable in shaping how we communicate with our partners and stakeholders, steering a range of speakers from across our organisation to develop narratives and set a broadly accessible tone for our work. They’ve led us through client presentations over several years now, helping our presenters sharpen their informal and formal modes of delivery over time as well as bringing new staff up to speed to ensure our branding story stays consistent and dynamic.”

MEDIA TRAINING

Brisbane's Leading Media Training Courses

Three Plus' media training courses teach the principles of developing and delivering key messages to take control of any question-and-answer situation – media interviews, business conferences, stakeholder and staff briefings.

The emphasis is on making the most of an interview opportunity to build your brand and reputation while providing an important risk management tool for well-run organisations.

Participants develop skills in preparing key messages, delivering them confidently, staying on message and sidestepping difficult questions.

A key outcome is improved media interview skills, with the participants understanding:

Media drivers and when to accept or decline interview opportunities.

The difference between print, radio and television needs.

The different approaches to long and short-form interviews.

Three Plus provides personalised media training courses that includes a mix of theory and practice, including:

providing a strong understanding of how the media and individual journalists work, including what they are looking for, and

providing an understanding of the fundamentals of handling any type of media interview.

Participants are interviewed on camera – and learn from the evaluation of their performance.

WRITING SKILLS TRAINING

Professional Writing Skills Training in Brisbane

Three Plus writing courses deliver one-on-one and group training for emerging professionals who need to develop their writing skills.

The half-day course suits people who need to prepare:

Succinct board papers.

Compelling bids, tenders and fee proposals.

Professional reports.

While tools like Spellcheck and Grammarly offer technical corrections, they cannot transform ill-considered, poorly constructed prose.

Long, convoluted sentences and streams of consciousness should not be considered acceptable.

Our team of former journalists teaches that the most important principle of good writing is making things easy for the reader by clearly communicating complex information in an engaging and accessible way.
